John Paul
reading heart giving
In my reading and in my studies I always tried to achieve a harmony between faith, reason, and the heart. These are not separate areas, but are profoundly interconnected, each giving life to the other.

The priest is not and must not be a civil servant of the Church. Above all the priest is a man who lives for the spirit for God. This being the case the Seminary is the place where he learns 'to be with Him.'

The sickness of a family member, friend or neighbor is a call to Christians to demonstrate true compassion, that gentle and persevering sharing in another's pain.
jesus prayer evil
Jesus himself has shown us by his own example that prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil.

On my knees, I beg of you to turn away from the paths of violence and to return to the path of peace. Those who resort to violence always claim that only violence brings about change. You must know there is a political, peaceful way to justice.

Let us remember the past with gratitude, live the present with enthusiasm, and look forward to the future with confidence.

The Rosary is a prayer both so humble and simple and a theologically rich in Biblical content. I beg you to pray it.

It is true that I must run a great risk; no gallant action was ever accomplished without danger.

Nothing exciting ever happens to me.

One slightly naughty thing I was thinking as I was watching the MTV thing, is how many people it took to replace me, and how few people it's taken me to replace them.
want band interest
I've never actually seen a tribute band. I can't really get a hold of the concept. To me, it's old material. I have no interest in it. I want to see what's coming now.
military may strikes
I may sink, but I'll be damned if I strike!
men feelings fine
Where men of fine feeling are concerned there is seldom misunderstanding.
america honor trifles
I would lay down my life for America but I cannot trifle with my Honor.
